FAQs

What is the purpose of the prongs on the T-nut?

The prongs embed into the wood, providing a secure grip and preventing the T-nut from rotating when the bolt is tightened.

What size bolt should I use with the M6 T-nut?

Use a 6mm bolt with M6 T-Nuts.

Can I use these T-nuts in metal?

No, these T-nuts are designed for use in wood, particleboard, and composite materials.

What does zinc plating do?

Zinc plating prevents oxidation, providing increased resistance to corrosion and extending the lifespan of the T-nut.

How do I install a T-nut?

Drill a hole, insert the T-nut with the prongs in the wood, and tap it flush with a hammer.

Where are these T-nuts commonly used?

They are widely used in soft furnishing, playground, and climbing wall manufacturing.

What is a blind nut?

A T-nut is also known as a blind nut because it is a type of nut used to fasten a work piece, leaving a flush surface.

What sizes are available?

These T nuts are available in M6 and M8 sizes.

Troubleshooting

T-nut spins when tightening the bolt.

Ensure the prongs are fully embedded in the substrate. If necessary, use a larger hammer or pre-drill a slightly smaller hole.

T-nut flange is not flush.

Check if the hole is the correct size. Tap the T-nut again to ensure it is fully seated.

Bolt does not thread properly.

Make sure you are using the correct bolt size for the T-nut (6mm for M6, 8mm for M8).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and reliable connection in soft materials.
  • Creates a clean, flush finish on the surface.
  • Zinc plating enhances durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Easy to install with simple tools.
  • Versatile for use in different applications like furniture and playground equipment.

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment during installation to ensure flush finish.
  • May not be suitable for extremely hard materials.
  • Proper bolt size must be selected for the T-nut size.
  • Prongs can potentially weaken the substrate if the material is too thin or soft.
  • Requires a hammer or similar tool for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Drill a hole in the substrate slightly larger than the T-nut body but smaller than the flange.
  2. Insertion: Place the T-nut into the hole with the prongs facing the substrate.
  3. Installation: Using a hammer, tap the T-nut until the flange is flush with the surface. The prongs should embed into the material.

Compatibility

  • Materials: Compatible with wood, particleboard, and composite materials.
  • Bolts: Use 6mm bolts with M6 T-Nuts and 8mm bolts with M8 T-Nuts.

Care

  • Moisture: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture to prevent corrosion.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the T-nuts and connected components for any signs of wear or loosening.
